My New Rug

This is our new rug in the entry hallway into our home. I love it and think it goes great! Now I'd like to find something to put on the wall to the left here, but not sure what just yet? 

We had a great weekend with my mom and dad, I'm so glad they got to come up for a visit, it was wonderful having them here. We also went and played putt-putt golf with Kyle and Kara and I made a HOLE IN ONE! I've NEVER done that before, it was a moment! The weather was gorgeous, I wish it would stay forever or least for all of football season! 

Happy Week to You! 

Julie and Julia/Cafe Rue Orleans

Last night Jordan planned for us to have a date and it was lovely. We have had a busy week so it was nice to spend some time together. We went to see Julie and Julia which I LOVED! I think everyone should see it. I never got bored with and found it a little inspiring for this non-cook who truly thinks life is just too busy to work and cook, I still can't master this...maybe some day? Then in light of the movie having a "french" flare Jordan wanted us to eat at a "french" restaurant, but the closest thing he could come up with was Cafe Rue Orleans, it was okay with giant portions so we left with 3 to-go boxes, food all week! Again, no cooking for me :) Afterwards we shared the TV between Project Runway and the 1st Dallas Cowboy Pre-Season game, which showed off their new stadium.

It was a fun night and now I'm at work, due to the fact that I was off last Monday. My mom and dad will be up here around lunch time to eat with us and spend the afternoon. I'm really excited to see them and to show my dad our home, he still hasn't seen it. I ask you to pray for Jordan a job, he is working so hard to find a job since he recently graduated and we are waiting patiently for God to open the perfect door for and for us. Thank you! Have a great weekend!!!

Oh our cake and yummy food!

As ritual to all married couples, we ate our amazing cake on our anniversary. It was still really yummy but the icing was so sweet it was hard to eat a lot of it, which I guess isn't a bad thing, ha! I had even gotten us a "1" candle to blowout and to wish luck and happiness on this 2nd year. We then went to eat at Ermilio's which is great Italian food and we got to spend some time playing Gin and just hanging out before supper. Our 1st anniversary was great and lots of fun! 

Our lovely little cottage!

Here are some photos from our lovely cabin from our anniversary trip. This place was AMAZING and I'd tell anyone that this is a must for a low key getaway weekend. The breakfast is a 3 course meal, which was amazing, I mean so so so good! We loved it! We just relaxed in the garden area and took little strolls around the cottage, it was great and I think you all should go! 

SILVER DOLLAR CITY!!!!

Here are some photos from our lovely day at Silver Dollar City. We had a blast just acting like kids all day! 

on the tram, I think this is the best part of any park! 

Here we go....
My old name, showing some respect! 
At the entrance to "FIRE IN THE HOLE" for all of you lovers of this ride, this is for you! 
Jordan played in this "kid" part of SDC for the longest time, he had the best time soaking kids with water. 
Into the deep dark cave we go! Jordan conquered a childhood fear, go Jordan! 
It's real dark, because we are really far from the sun :)
This guy wrote "Shepard of the Hills" book and slept within this cave, his last name was Wright, I'm sure we are related! 
In the cave! 
We had a great time here and ate loads and loads of yummy food, it was such a fun day! Happy Anniversary to us!
